What were Evangelical and missionary movements?

Evangelical and missionary movements emerged in the 18th and 19th centuries as part of a broader religious revival characterized by a focus on personal conversion, biblical authority, and social reform. Evangelicals emphasized the need for individual faith and a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, often leading to the establishment of new denominations and religious practices. Missionary movements sought to spread Christianity globally, with missionaries traveling to convert non-Christians and establish churches in Africa, Asia, and the Americas. These movements significantly influenced social issues, including abolitionism, education, and healthcare.
